Baatstö
Spectators: 36 (Terracing: 28, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Martin Bø kicked off to start the match. After 10 minutes, Stig Selmer mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Baatstö IF and the Tjørndalen FF players grew even worse after the yellow card. After 11 played minutes Baatstö IF got a freekick which was hit by Stig Selmer. After 11 played minutes, Tjørndalen FF's Torstein Slettebø shot from a long distance, and at first it looked like the ball was going into the goal, but the goalkeeper Georg Eggan came through and got his fingers on the ball before it flew over the goal line. He then quickly gripped the ball tighter before the forwards in Tjørndalen FF reached it. Dennis Pettersen took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Martin Bø, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. Georg Thorsø took the ball and in the 27 minute, shot a rapid shot to the right of a surprised Georg Eggan. Georg Eggan dived to the right, and did manage to get a hand on the shot, but it still went into the right corner making it 0-1. 31 minutes into the match, Baatstö IF's goal looked a bit too open when Bent Reinholdtsen came free, but Georg Eggan reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Bent Reinholdtsen sent away a hard shot on goal in the 34th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. If Bent Reinholdtsen had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 39th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After a defensive mix-up in Baatstö IF's zone, Georg Thorsø stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Georg Eggan came out of the goal and Georg Thorsø tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. During the 44th minute of the match Stig Selmer completely mistimed his tackle and brought down his opponent. The referee gave Stig Selmer a yellow card, his second in the match, which meant he could no longer take part in the game. Stig Selmer hit a great freekick 45 minutes into the match. The Baatstö IF players were disheartened as they walked off the pitch after the first half. Tjørndalen FF were winning 0-1.

After having played for 52 minutes, Georg Thorsø managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Tjørndalen FF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Georg Thorsø was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. After having played for 54 minutes, Johannes Dehli managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Baatstö IF's supporters crossed their fingers, but Johannes Dehli was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Georg Eggan made a fantastic save in the 58th minute, when Bent Reinholdtsen sent off a good shot on target. Georg Thorsø sent away a hard shot on goal in the 68th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

Johannes Dehli sent away a hard shot on goal in the 74th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. After 76 minutes of play, Baatstö IF's Johannes Dehli made it 1-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Dennis Pettersen was left in no man's land by his defense there! Dennis Pettersen made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Johannes Dehli in the 83rd minute of play. After 90 played minutes Tjørndalen FF got a freekick which was hit by Harald Skramstad.
